Error Starting sonic pi 3.2.2 on ubuntu 22.04 about sonic-pi

Btw. it is a stanard installation. And not sure if that is relevant. I have a AMD based system. I use the onboard graphics card and sound device though i have a Nvidia based RTX2070 graphics card installed (I only use it for machine learning).

Why not try my binary .deb file for sonic-pi_4.3.0 for an amd64 build. It is a later version and is running OK on my virtual Ubuntu 22.04 You will get best results connecting to your sound card via qjackctl before launching it.

I suggest you purge your 3.2.2 install before trying.
use sudo apt purge sonic-pi followed by sudo apt auto remove before installing the 3.4.0 deb file using
sudo apt install ./sonic-pi_4.3.0_1_ubuntu22.04.amd64.deb from the folder to which you download it.

Thank you @rbnpi for the Ubuntu deb file! I was able to install 4.3 version from that. I tried building from source code myself but encountered too many problems related Erlang versions and it's dependencies.

That’s great. For elixir I’d try installing it using .asdf you can choose lates version to install.
if you are happy now please close the issue.

SonicPi doesn't work on my machine even if I used @rbnpi's deb file

@reyesvicente You can try installing the latest version (4.4.0) using flatpak.

1. I recommend installing new version of Ubuntu (22.04) or some other distro using new Ubuntu under the hood (I'm using Tuxedo OS 2)
2. You need to install flatpak - on Tuxedo OS 2 it's already installed, but it's really easy to install it on Ubuntu as well.
3. You need to install Sonic Pi

This should be a better solution for your issue - I hope it helps!
